The spell checker can be activated from the candidate list in Deliver, or from Monitor when the test is activated.




Candidate experience

The spell checker can be enabled and disabled by the candidate, and there are two types of spell check available.

Spell check as you type (SCAYT)- this will underline misspelled words as the candidate writes them and will offer an inline correction by right clicking on the underlined words. This should be a familiar type of spell check for most candidates.
The candidate enables it by choosing "Enable SCAYT" in the menu.
SCAYT language is not directly configurable and will be the same as the language the candidate has chosen in Inspera Assessment. 

Spell check dialog - this is a separate dialog that the candidate starts by choosing "Check Spelling" in the menu. The dialog will then run through the whole text. This is a useful option for those who find the underlining disturbing.
Spell check language is configurable by the candidate.
